Fifty-three consecutive patients, mean age 63 years, undergoing either peripheral vascular reconstructive surgery (n = 40) or lobectomy for bronchial carcinoma (n = 13) were examined pre- and postoperatively with conventional electrocardiogram (ECG), vectorcardiogram (VCG) and estimation of serum levels of aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, total lactic dehydrogenase and the heat-stable fraction of lactic dehydrogenase for the diagnosis of per/postoperative myocardial infarction (MI). Six patients (11%) developed signs of acute MI. In 2 patients whose ECG showed only unspecific changes, the VCG was decisive for the diagnosis. The serum enzyme values alone were of limited value in the diagnosis of per/postoperative MI.

In 117 bronchial carcinoma patients hospitalized to receive radiation therapy, the serum levels of aldolase, LDH, alkaline phosphatase, GOT and GPT were checked prior to, during, and following radiation therapy at intervals of 4--6 weeks. Among the enzymes tested, aldolase proved to provide the best screening test for judging prognosis, course of disease and probable occurrence of recurrence or metastases.
